It seems that we didn't make things totally clear in our last post (sorry), so let us clarify a few things. Maybe you felt duped when you saw that you'd be buying 4 more Titans when you've already got some lying around, well don't panic... Each of the individual items that would make up a full ToolChanger and Motion System kit will be available to purchase as individual items, you do NOT have to buy the complete kit. Our price indication in the previous blog was to give you a rough idea of how much it would set you back if you were to buy everything. For those of you that won't need the full kit, here's a price breakdown of the parts (remember these aren't set in stone and exclude VAT):

I am really excited by this, and am a big fan of the large plate for mounting the motion system. I've been working on a design of my own that draws heavily from your work here, will you be offering any components of the motion system separately? Specifically will you be offering the Z-axis rail/mount, or just the full motion system as a whole?

Hey Gerald, for launch we will just be selling the motion system as a whole. However, we will explore packaging options in the future which will mean that the Z Axis can be sold separately but this is not a priority atm for us. Thanks, Georgia

Hey Andy, you can pay a deposit now to secure your place in the queue (https://e3d-online.com/beta-product-tool-changer-join-the-queue)! We have already had 500+ preorders so it's a good idea to get your name down ASAP to reduce the time you'll have to wait for the machine once we go into production! If you change your mind at a later date then we'll refund you the amount, no fuss.

I do wonder about the possibility of engineering up a way of doing direct drive titans and flexions on the tool changer system. I'm in the process of designing my own 3D printer and I plan on designing a far larger printer that will use the tool changer system and take advantage of the higher power limits of the drivers on the Duet boards. Can't wait to play around with this either way.
